Subject to the Ohio Revied Code, the Mayor has jurisdiction to conduct
a Mayor's Court to hear and determine any prosecution for the violation
of an ordinance of the village, any case involving a violation of a vehicle
parking or standing ordinance of the village, and to determine all criminal
causes involving any moving traffic violation occurring on a state highway
located within the boundaries of the municipal corporation.

Magistrate - The Magistrate hears and
determines prosecutions and criminal causes in the Mayor's Court that
are within its jurisdiction. In hearing
and determining such prosecutions and causes, the Magistrate has the
same powers, duties, and authority as does the Mayor if she were to
conduct Mayor's Court, including the ability to hear and determine prosecutions
and causes in general, including but not limited to the power and authority
to decide the prosecution or cause, enter judgment, and impose sentence.
The appointment of a Magistrate does not preclude the Mayor from also
hearing and determining prosecutions and criminal causes in the Mayor's
Court that are within the jurisdiction of the Mayor's Court.

Law Director - The Law Director may designate
assistants to act as prosecuting attorneys of the Mayor's Court. He prosecutes
all cases brought before
the Court and performs the same duties as required of the prosecuting
attorney of Franklin County.

Clerk of Courts - The Clerk's primary responsibilities
include receiving, docketing, indexing,
certifying, and preserving the
pleadings, courts orders, and other legal documents that are filed with
the Mayor’s Court. The Clerk also serves court papers as required
by law and as directed by the court, furnishes notices of hearings, and
issues summonses,
subpoenas, warrants, and executions. She receives, accounts for, disburses,
and deposits money to cover court costs, fines, and fees, according to
statute. The Clerk serves as a liaison to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles,
certifying convictions and advising of Financial Responsibility Act infractions.
